Scully's management to talk to Melbourne this week

[SoNotFunny 0]

..according to this.

Bloody good news, just get it sorted Tom and then Sheedy the snakeoil salesman can just bugger off and bother someone else.

Scully's managers Peter Blucher and Alastair Lynch from Velocity Sports are expected to hold discussions with Demons chief executive Cameron Schwab and list manager Tim Harrington in Melbourne.

SCULLY TALKS LOOMING

I also just heard this on SEN a couple of minutes ago

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

I note that the figure being talked about is now 4 mil for 5 years. Seems his value in media circles is dropping.

sounds very good

looks like the notion of waiting til years end has been binned, it has been decided that there is too much pressure on Tom and the Club so its time to knock it over

No, I think they finally found someone who actually has a grasp on mathematics... they have always stated $800,000pa, but for some reason always rounded it out to a much larger figure.

sounded more irresistable

Jimma, thanks to you, Eddie looks like nothing more than a quiz show host. Lock it in Jimmy.

Speculation will intensify leading into the crucial meeting that Scully is leaning strongly toward signing a new deal with Melbourne and turning his back on a massive contract with new AFL outfit Greater Western Sydney.

Just made my day.

[DemonDave 1,078]

We shall wait and see on this one. Fingers and everything else crossed!

BUT..does this mean GWS will target one of our other off-contract players?

[Sir Why You Little 34,695]

Let's hope this all ends in a positive nature. maybe GWS performances over the last 2 weeks have made Tom & his management decide to sign the MFC contract once & for all.

If Tom signs with the MFC within the next week or so, this is a great sign for all victorian clubs, not just the MFC.

It looks at this stage that the AFL will not get the $ Billion Broadcasting rights deal, the money is just not out there. The figure will be lower & channel 7 know it-thus we will not have live Footy on Friday nights.

Channel 7 make more money out of a delayed telecast.

[John Crow Batty 8,279]

Thats a bloody good sign. A total reversal of his previous managers ridiculous position. This matter has to be buried before we start to play real footy.

[DeeZee 6,805]

Im confident he will sign now.

We have to keep our most talented core as a priority.

Scully, Trenners,Grimes,Watts,Jurrah,Sylvia & Frawley

[drdrake 3,045]

If we look into one of the 1200 posts on this topic someone mentioned that MFC had created the rumour and will come out and sign him before the season. All about building the Hype into 2011 and 40,000 members. Far fetched more than likely Tom has said I have had a gut full of this media speculation get the deal done so I can concentrate on my footy and not have every person ask this same question.

Does this mean your head is now in the sand?

At the very least, I think you've dug a hole in the sandpit and are poised waiting to make the plunge...

Has to be? Has to be?

Why must we?

It would be ideal, but hardly "has to be".

do you or anyone know who else is uncontracted?

[drdrake 3,045]

Col Sylvia.

It could go the other way as well they might tell the club he can't keep lying to his team mates and he has signed with GWS

Sylvia

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

oh yeah and then he'll just play the season out with those teammates knowing he has sold out and his own supporters booing him

come off it

[Jaded No More 58,634]

Excellent news.

If they are talking early it's because Scully wants to stay. We just have to come through with the goods now.

[juzzk1d 1,354]

If I was a Melbourne player out of contract and an elite player such as Scully turned down such a lucrative deal, the last thing I'd want to look like is a desperate sloppy seconds recruit. Scully signing will definitely be a positive for us not just him remaining as a demon, but for others to follow suit. Domino effect.

[DemonWA 3,498]

good new, i'll buy a new gurnsey with #31 on the back when he resigns

[Keyser Söze 0]

I don't think that appearance would concern them if they were focused on money (one of the few reasons for going) and were going to be paid above scale.

[Samsara 65]

Mark Steven's also twitted that Melbourne will hold press conference before our next practice match.

Press Conference + Contract Talks = we should know something very soon. I would say he is staying.
